From Bybit master trader to Hyperliquid: why this blog is changing
For two years this blog was about copy trading on centralized exchanges. I'm moving my own capital on-chain — and taking you along, one plain-English post at a time.
The short version: I'm moving my trading capital from centralized exchanges — Bybit, Binance — to Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange. This blog follows the money. Over the coming weeks it becomes a guide to trading and investing on DEXs, written for people who have never touched one.
What this blog was
Seventy posts here say roughly the same thing: most people should not trade alone, and copy trading lets you delegate to a skilled trader while your funds stay in your own exchange account. I traded as a Bybit master trader; readers followed along. That mantra — funds stay in your own account — was the backbone of everything I wrote.
What changed
First, the interesting trading moved on-chain. The deepest strategy pools, the most active traders, the new tooling — more and more of it lives on decentralized exchanges now, with Hyperliquid leading by a wide margin.
Second — and this is the big one for a blog like this — on-chain means receipts. When I reviewed traders on a centralized exchange, I was reading performance pages computed by the exchange, shaped by the exchange, displayed by the exchange. You trusted them because there was nothing else. On a DEX, every trade by every trader is public record. I can pull the raw data myself, recompute any claim, and show you exactly where a track record bends the truth. For someone whose job is helping you choose who to trust with your money, that is not a feature. That is the whole point.
Third, I don't write about platforms I don't use. My capital is making the move, so the blog makes it too.
What stays the same
The reader I write for hasn't changed: you have a job, a family, a life — and no time to stare at charts. You want your crypto working without becoming a day trader. Before, the answer was picking good master traders to copy. Now it will be picking good vault — and we'll get to exactly what those are, including the ways they are not like copy trading, because the differences matter and one of them is about who holds your money.
What's coming
A series called From CEX to DEX, building from zero: what centralized and decentralized exchanges actually are, what a DEX gives you and what it takes away, what Hyperliquid is, how vaults work, how they differ from copy trading, a step-by-step guide to making the move safely, and what can go wrong. After that, the reviews begin: I'll go through the biggest vaults on Hyperliquid one by one, explain every indicator on the page, and map the traps behind each.
No post will assume you know the previous jargon. When I get something wrong, the public data will be there to prove it. And nothing here is financial advice — it's one trader making a move with his own money, showing his work.
